SAKRETE 354502999 Fast Setting Concrete Mix:

SAKRETE's Fast Setting Concrete Mix is a preblended mixture of special cementitious materials, sand, and coarse aggregate. It is designed for projects that require a rapid set, allowing for same-day use. With a high strength of 4,000 psi and the ability to be applied in full depth applications of 2 inches or greater, this concrete mix is ideal for structural applications requiring a small volume of concrete.

Some of its key features and uses include:

Rapid setting in approximately 1/2 hour, resulting in same-day use
Ideal for setting fence posts, driveways, slabs, patios, walkways, curbs, stairs, ramps, and other structural applications requiring a small volume of concrete

Color:

Gray

Preparation/Application:

For best results all materials should be stored between 40°F (4°C) and 80°F

(27°C) 24 hours prior to installation.

Refer to:

- ACI 302.1 Guide for Concrete Flooring and Slab Construction

- ACI 304.1 Guide for Measuring, Mixing, Transportation and Placing Concrete

- ACI 305R Guide to Hot Weather Concreting

- ACI 306R Guide to Cold Weather Concreting

Post and Poles:

1. Dig hole to required depth and diameter (depth should be 1/3 the length

of the post or pole and hole should be 3 times the diameter of the pole or

post width). Place 4” to 6” (102 mm to 152 mm) of gravel as a base and

compact.

2. Place the post or pole in the center of the hole and onto the gravel base.

3. Level and support post or pole in place.

4. Fill hole 1/3 full of water.

5. Then add Concrete directly from bag.

6. If surface is dry add more water. Excess surface water is not a problem.

7. Re-check the level of the post.

8. Slope top of mix to allow water to drain away.

Flatwork (Slabs, sidewalks, walkways, etc.):

CAUTION: Do not mix more than can be placed and troweled in 15 minutes.

1. Stake out the area where the concrete will be placed.

2. Cut and remove all soil, grass, sod, etc.

3. For improved drainage place several inches of gravel into the excavated

area. Remember to allow enough depth for both the gravel and a minimum

of 4” (102 mm) of concrete.

4. Place forms in the desired area assuring that they are level, square, and all

corners sealed so no premixed material can escape once placed.

5. Place the concrete into the forms to full depth.

6. Consolidate by moving into corners and low areas to assure there are

no voids.

7. Using a straight edge (a 2 x 4 works well) level the surface of the concrete

using a back and forth sawing motion.

8. Using a float or trowel smooth the surface to remove imperfections. This

is not a final trowel finish, so complete this quickly. Too much troweling at

this point will cause dusting and weaken the surface.

9. Using a concrete grooving tool, cut joints into the concrete every 3 - 4 ft

(.9 - 1.2 m). Expansion joints should be placed every 8 ft x 12 ft (2.4 x 3.7 m)

in each direction and must extend through the entire depth of the slab.

10. Once the concrete has stiffened slightly and all water has evaporated

from the surface use the trowel to put a smooth level surface on the

concrete. Applying a light broom finish will aid with traction and remove

any imperfections left from the trowel.

11. Forms can be removed the following day.

Fast Setting Concrete Mix

Sakrete

Fast Setting Concrete Mix is

a preblended fast setting mixture of

special cementitious materials, sand

and coarse aggregate. For projects

where a rapid set is needed to allow

for same day use. For setting posts

and poles without mixing or bracing.

For slab placement where concrete

thickness exceeds 2” (51 mm).

Features:

• High Strength 4,000 psi

• Full depth applications 2” (51 mm) or greater

• Ideal for structural applications requiring a small volume of concrete

• Rapid setting in approximately 1/2 hour resulting in same day use

Use For:

• Setting fence posts

• Driveways, slabs, patios, walkways

• Curbs

• Stairs

• Ramps

• Structural applications requiring a small volume of concrete

Yield/Water/Coverage:

To determine coverage: Multiply Length (feet) x Width (feet) x Thickness (inches)

and divide by 12. Then divide by the yield in the chart above to determine the

numbers of bags needed. See Calculator on Sakrete.com for assistance.

Yield and water are approximate.

Post Setting - Based on Average 10” Diameter Hole:

Technical Data:

Sakrete Fast Setting Concrete Mix meets or exceeds the compressive strength

requirements of ASTM C387.

Compressive Strength ASTM C39

3 days = 2,500 psi (17 MPa)

7 days = 3,500 psi (24 MPa)

28 days = 4,000 psi (28 MPa)

Repairs (greater than 2” (51 mm) in depth):

1. Surfaces to be repaired must be sound, dimensionally stable, and clean.

2. Slick or sealed surfaces must be thoroughly roughened to an ICRI CSP of

3 to 5.

3. Sides of repair area must be squared off.

4. Clean all reinforcing steel to bare white metal and coat with a rust

preventative if not covering within 8 hours.

5. All surfaces that will come in contact with the concrete mix should be

brought to a SSD (Surface Saturated Dry condition) before application of

the material.

6. Clean and remove all loose materials and debris before proceeding

7. Place the mixed concrete mix into the area that is being repaired.

8. Use a float to remove any surface imperfections.

Mixing:

1. Mix only the amount of material that can be placed within 15 minutes.

2. Empty contents of Sakrete Fast Setting Concrete into a wheel barrel or

mortar pan forming a crater in the center of the dry mix for the addition of

clean potable water (refer to chart above for water amount). Mix with a

shovel or hoe until all the material is mixed to a uniform consistency.

Projects requiring multiple bags are mixed much easier with a mechanical

concrete mixer.

3. Add enough clean potable water to achieve a workable mix. Add additional

water if needed but AVOID A SOUPY MIX. Excess water reduces strength and

durability and can cause cracking, dusting or scaling.

Curing: (Required only for ﬂat work)

1. Proper curing is critical for sound results. Curing means maintaining proper

moisture and temperature. The concrete must be kept continuously moist for

several days.

2. Covering the concrete slab with plastic is a practical way to help retain

moisture. Place plastic after concrete has set.

3. If surface begins to appear dry remove the plastic moisten the surface and

replace the plastic.

4. New concrete can be opened to foot traffic in 6 hours and vehicular traffic

in 48 hours.

Precautions:

Air, mix and substrate temperatures should be between 40°F (4°C) and 90°F

(32°C) with no rain in the forecast within 24 hours of application. For

applications outside this range of temperatures and conditions, contact

Sakrete Technical Service.

• Colder temperatures or higher humidity conditions will retard set times

• Use only clean mixing container and tools

• Do not over trowel

• Do not overwater

• Protect from freezing for 48 hours

NOTE: Proper application and installation of all Sakrete products are the responsibility of the end user.
